Will the unemployment rate go NEGATIVE?

[ColonelAngus]

It's at 4.7% overall after 235,000 jobs were added in February.

It can mathematically go negative....it's just MATH.

What would it mean if the "UNEMPLOYMENT RATE" became negative?

Certainly, it would be proof that it's a bullshit created and arbitrary number.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Wouldn't that be weird?

It's a real possibilty in about 5 years.

94.2 million people out of the work force, and Trump is probably playing golf again.

If people taken out of the denominator all of a sudden start working, that shit will go negative.

You don't know math, that's ok.

I do know math. In order for the unemployment rate to be negative, there would have to be a negative number of unemployed or a positive number of unemployed and a negative number of employed so that the sum of employed and unemployed is negative.

Neither negative unemployed or negative employed have any meaning.

UE will NEVER drop below 3 or 4 percent. EVER.

Below 3% would be full employment, which is not good. It is also what might happen under a hardline immigration and deportation policy.

It's already close to negative. More than 10k retire every day but are still counted as unemployed.

You're breaking your own avatar rule, cupcake

According to Trump the real unemployment rate is 35%.

and now it's 35% on his watch.

They would only be classified as unemployed if they meet the definition of unemployed. You seem to be implying that that's wrong.
And how would that make the rate go negative?

Obama had nothing to do with it..."unemployed" has always included looking for work as part of the definition. Why do you think including people who don't want jobs would help us measure how many jobs we're short?

Are you trying to make a bad joke?

Wow you are total idiot.

It can't become negative as neither nominator or denominator of unemployment rate formula can be negative.

Penalty for piling on, half the distance to the goal line.
